I get an a run time error when I call the History function:
Runtime Error: Trying to retrieve an element from a collection using a key that does not exist in that collection throws a KeyError exception
Apparently the 'close' column is not found. But when I look at the log, it appears that there are close values but the column name 'Close' is not there. Any ideas on what could be the problem and how to resolve this?

This error only happens when I comment out the 'return' statement in the if self.Portfolio[self.liquidContract.Symbol].Invested statement.

Hi Lordy Mike ,
Sorry about the wait.
We have found a bug in the historical data request caused by a time zone issue. Essentially, the data from the last four hours of the day (the time zone difference from EDT and UTC) was not fetched. Consequently, the data frame was empty, and an empty data frame does not have the 'close' column:
hist = self.History(self.liquidContract.Symbol, self.lookback) if hist.empty: self.Log(f'Empty history data frame for {self.liquidContract.Symbol} at {self.Time}.') continue hist = hist['close']Meanwhile, we have fixed the issue. I have tested your algorithm and the bug is gone.
